Booms do not always boom, and
when they bust they leave a long
streak Of poverty, disappointment
and distress. Three months ago the
town Of Wichita, Kansas, was en-
joying a prosperity unheard Of in
the history Of western towns. There
was a great influx Of people and
Spectators, and property reached a
figure that took away the breath Of
a prudent man. As much as SO 900
per front foot was paid, or promised,
Tor desirable sites in the business
centre of the city, and il ;ook a for
tune to buy n home in the place.
LAST week the boom busted Prop
crty is selling for less than half the
former price, notes arc hawked
about the streets for whatever they
will fetch, and former men Of sup
posed wealth are seeking daily labor
Tor livelihood And such is the
ending Of all booms-ParkersJurg

The Handwriting of Poets.

"The old idea that nearly all great lit
erary geniuses, especially poets, wrote
poor hands has been exploded thor
ough1y," said an expert penman to re-
porter. He meditated a few minutes and
proceeded in the same strain: "To Illus
trate, Edgar Allan Poe wrote fine hand.
1t was rather small, but legible as print.
He never scrawled, however fast he
wrote. His life was checkered enough to
upset his nerves, but through it all he
wrote a fair, smooth, round hand. Rich
ard Henry Stoddard, the white haired
poet, perhaps wrote the most beautiful
hand of any of the American poets up to
several years ago. 1t was somewhat like
the Spencerian system of today. The let
tiers were well formed and even, and
properly shaded. Even now, well adj
vanced in years, he writes a fine copy
hand as easy to read as print. Some of
his best poems are written in hand Of
such neatness and legibility as would put
the typewriter to the blush. Mr.. Stod-
dard handles pen with wonderful celer-
ity yet. William Cullen Bryant also
wrote good hand. 1t was not as beau
tiful even as Mr.. Stoddard's, but as fair
and legible as the most hypercritical
could desire. Mr.. Bryant's handwriting
has been much discussed. He wrote a bet
ter hand than Poe, though the latter was
better at certain times than others. John
G. Whittier is master of fine, plain hand
that the printers bless. 1t is as simple,
small and unassuming as he is, and can
be read easily. John Howard Payne,
author of ''Home, Sweet Home" could
well have passed for an instructor in pen
manship, his handwriting was so admira-
BILE. 1t was somewhat too small, if any
thing, but all the letters were formed
with startling accuracy. New York

OF appreciation of scientific methods as
applied to practical purposes. 1t is not
difficult to understand why some people
have no faith IN the testimony of the rocks
or the revelations of the ground we walk
on. The GAZETTE places very high esti-
mate on the value of geological researches
and investigations. 1t is branch of ap-
piled science that has proved of almost
inestimable worth to the world, and we
honestly believe that nowhere else in the
world is there a more inviting field for
the laoors of the geologist than right here
in Texas. Some day, and not far ahead
either, there will be lawmakers who will
recognize the Importance of the matter
and the necessary action will be taken.
The delay on the part of the Legislature
will only serve to stimulate the interest
on the part of the friends of the
measure, who discern a virtually limit
less field for the operations of capital
and industry when geological research
shall be able to tender assurances of the
mineral wealth that is as yet hidden and
undeveloped in Texas.

MIR. BELL Of Cooke during the discussion of
the bill for the appointment of a state geol-
ogist stated that 1t wanted no better evidence
that there was a job in measure than when he
saw the press of the state, especially the press
of this city, advocating it, and this was ap-
p auded by a few galveston News Austin
Report.
What warrant has Mr.. Bell of Cook, or
any other man for such statement as
the above? There are three hundred
newspapers in the state Of Texas, and it
has never yet happened that they have all
been agreed upon any measure. There
fore, arguing the question of the honesty
of ''the press of the state" simply from
the facts in the case, and presuming
nothing in It's favor, how can all the
newspapers of the state be convicted of
dishonesty when they do not all unite on
public measures? Mr.. Bell of Cooke is 8
lawyer, and he ought to be able to easily
convict himself of illiberality and injus-
tice on the above testimony from his own
mouth. Suppose even one Texas news
paper were reckless enough to
declare that cit wanted no bet
ter evidence that there was
merit in measure than when it saw the
Twentieth Legislature, especially the ma
iority of the Lower House, oppose such
measure"-what would be thought and
said of that paper? Mr.. Bell of Cooke has
done "the press of the state" a great in
justice and himself discredit in making q
statement for which there is no more
foundation than there is for the assertion
that "all lawyers are liars"
